I visited two polling stations. On Saturday I voted myself, on Sunday I accompanied my wife. The police were on duty at the entrance and asked to show the contents of bags if those entering had them. We had to go through a metal detector. The atmosphere inside was casual and relaxed. 3 days to vote is good: there were no queues. An election commission employee immediately helped me find the right table. I showed my passport, she issued a ballot (I signed for receipt). In the booth behind the curtain, I checked the box, went out and threw the ballot into the ballot box. Two minutes for everything. The most mundane vote in my life. Back in the USSR it was a celebration, marching music and posters everywhere. In the 1990s it was a hubbub, crazy people rubbing shoulders with apparatchiks, and cheap food as an incentive for people to come. In the 2000s, the atmosphere was enlivened by strange potential candidates seeking popularity (like girls from the teenage pop group Tatu) and political freaks (for example, candidates from the party of beer lovers). Since I do not approve of political exaltation, I consider this evolution an improvement.
You have to laugh at the Western delusional propaganda. The chattering classes here have been in full voice in the newspapers about how a backlash against Navalny's "murder" would cost Putin dear.
Ministry of truth. The media in DC has become especially irrelevant. My biggest laugh is Joe Scarborough gaslighting us with comments about how mentally sharp the Joetato is.
I don't believe so, have tried and failed on several Stacks. What will work is to host your image/s somewhere like imgur and include link/s. https://imgur.com/a/kx3fcxP

If I were Norwegian, I'd be asking when I voted for US troops to enter my country. Hey, but that's just me.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall when a South American immigrant come US soldier finds himself in the Arctic.
Do we even trust the election process anymore?! I don’t. Not in Russia… or anywhere.
Putin came in at 87%
2024: Biden 88%?
Yep. Putin's got to up his game if he wants to achieve Biden's level of popularity.
The record probably won't survive Biden's voting figures in November!
Is it possible to post pictures in the comments here?
I have some fun stuff from DC today...

The Rand Report has not aged well.
Unfortunately it looks like the West has not figured this out yet.
